TomVH: Armani Reeves Will Include Michigan in his Top Three

A few days ago Massachusetts DB Armani Reeves had reported that he was again talking with the Michigan coaches. After discussing Michigan's intentions with Brady Hoke, Greg Mattison, and Curt Mallory, Reeves decided that he would think about adding them to his top list, which already included Penn State and Notre Dame.

Tonight he decided that he would continue with Michigan in his recruitment plans.

I'm going to put [Michigan] in the top three. Just because I like them so much that I was willing to look into what they have to offer. Pretty much everything I said before that they have academics, the whole thing with Michigan. I haven't really thought about what's next or if I'll visit any time soon yet. I don't know when I'm going to make my final decision either, this kind of changes things a little bit.

It says a lot that not only were the coaches able to get him to consider them again, but that he has included them in the top three. It's probably a good indication of how serious he is about Michigan and also how serious he is about his recruitment. As he said he hasn't thought out the future yet, but I would imagine he'll use an official visit to see Ann Arbor one more time.

I've said multiple times that this has nothing to do with Terry. They want another corner in addition to Terry and Anthony. This also isn't because Standifer projects to safety. They want another corner.

with either the quantity of current CB's or the quality, and I'm not sure which is more concerning.

Both Talbott and Brown were rumored to be considering leaving at various points so maybe the staff is worried about attrition, particularly with Talbott's brother being done with football. Or maybe they are considering switching someone to another position (i.e. Taylor to WR or FS)?

Otherwise it would seem like we have enough young cb's with: Avery, Brown, Talbott, Countess, Taylor, Hallowell, RIchardson, and Standifer.

i dont know what i'd do without TomVH. we've honestly got to be the most informed fanbase in terms of recruiting. we generally know what our big targets are thinking on a weekly basis. What other fanbase has that for free??

These last five commits are going to be great. First come first served, except for Dunn, who will have a spot up to the point he decides. I really like O'Neil, but I think he is overplaying his hand. He may be the the odd man out when all is said and done. I think the coaches are going to close the deal with the next four top guys that step up.

I'd love to see Reeve's commit to UM. He is a great athlete and could play CB or WR...or both. On that note: TomVH, has he said anything about the coaches possibly looking at him as a WR as well? I know he liked the idea of being able to play both.

Is a Saginaw guy who played for Toledo and then the NFL. His son has committed to PSU. I can see a strong gravitational pull in either direction (us and PSU). Hopefully is is a big fan of our uniforms versus "black shoes, all blue, etc..."

"This is a program in transition, this is a program that's going back to hard-nosed, big-boy football," Brandon said. "We're in the process of putting the pieces in place to afford us to do that consistently and effectively.

I have a hard time believing that this has nothing to do with Terry. The Michigan coaches are obviously gonna pitch that it doesn't, but they have to cover their own asses in case of T-Rich's possible departure.
